John 6:60-71
Inspired thots:
(v61) Offense is one of man's greatest enemy on himself. When one is offended, it indicates something deep within is stirred. It reflects one's displeasure or unwillingness to have something contrary to the self's beliefs or values. But are our beliefs and values always right? If not, why be offended?
(v63) It is more important to tend to the spirit than to the flesh, which is the physical. Jesus' words are 'food' to man's spirit (Matt.4:4). How can man live physically on words? No, he cant; only his spirit can. We can get hurt by words which cause us to fall into depression or even lose the will to live, or we can be so motivated by words which raise us up to new heights of determination and success. Yes, 'man shall not live by bread alone...'
(v69) Belief and Knowledge go together. One MUST believe AND know what he believes, which establishes his faith. (John 4:42) For as Jesus told the Samaritan woman (John 4:21), that she and other Samaritans have worshiped what they dont know for they have not heard to believe. When one hears and believes, he knows.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
